House allegedly snuck a female COVID-19 testing member into his hotel room. The NBA’s investigation on House found him guilty of the accusations, and therefore he is leaving the bubble.
The Rockets currently trail the Los Angeles Lakers 3-1 in their second-round playoff series.
The Lakers have won both Games 3 and 4. House was inactive for each of those contests.
House finished the regular season averaging 10.5 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.2 assists per game.
